Monday mashup: OC Blogger Ball attendees

Hey readers, this is our weekly roundup of recent posts by local mom and dad bloggers. If you have suggestions for this feature, please comment below. Thanks!

On Friday, I had the privilege to attend the 2nd annual OC Blogger Ball event, organized by Marcy Massura of the Glamorous Life Association and hosted by the Embassy Suites Anaheim South. The event, along with the group BlogCrush, which is co-founded by Suzanne Broughton of Alive in Wonderland (formerly MomCrush), was created for those of us who blog about life in Orange County. But it rarely stops at blogging -- most of us also have Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, the whole shebang. So the very best part of the event is, by far, getting to meet the people you've been cyber-stalking for a long time.

So today's Monday mashup is dedicated to those bloggers who I finally just met for the first time in real life.

Send Chocolate: I was looking forward to meeting Tina, not only because she's often witty and hilarious, but because she has the strength of a million wrestlers. This week, she poured her heart out in a post about her daughter.
